Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What kind of people don’t you trust?
When someone I haven't talked to for more than a decade suddenly says "Hi" on my DMs. Feel ko it's going to be Pru-Life, Usana, or something along those lines... and most of the time I'm proven to be right.
MLM is waving, in other words pyramid
Liars.
People who are really, really, smile-ly and friendly. There's this overly-saccharine, it's almost fake, kind of person that I find kinda icky and sets off alarm bells in me.
Kind of like a Stepford smiler but with less overt eeriness, I guess? But I'm kind of referring to that, crossed with the person equivalent of a cake smothered in sugar and fondant.
5 days till July
Sipon season. ugh
Yakapsule season
Good morning! 🌦️

Lemilinas?

Too similar to Lenlen
Yung "asputek taps" na lang hindi ko nadedecipher, haha.
Dropping his US citizenship just tells a lot about his commitment. I wish him the best.
Meanwhile in Vietnam,....
Naumpisahan ko na rin ang One Piece kaso mas type ko ata yung manga over the anime. Or maybe wala lang ako sa mood manood at mas gusto ko lang magbasa.
I also started on Dr. Stone. Crush ko ba si Senku? I think I'd rather be his apprentice but yes he's cool.
Rengoku pa din number one 🤩🔥
I'm almost done with my meds and I feel better now. Hay salamat.
Naalala ko tuloy dati binalak ko rin panoorin yang One Piece para lang may mapag-usapan kami ng dati kong katalkingstage hahaha.
Natuloy ba o hanggang balak lang? Hahahaha
Hanggang balak lang hahaha. Ghinost ako bigla e hahaha.
Not familiar with One Piece, but I hope that the live adaptation doesn't become a dud like Cowboy Bebop.
Na-log out yung Reddit account ko kahapon. Hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin nalo-log in kasi nakalimutan ko password at nakakatamad magreset 😁
Bitwarden users, assemble! Haha
eyyyyy. Grabeng ginhawa talaga ng buhay ko dahil dito haha. mamats Bitwarden
Kahit saang ecosystem, iisang lugar lang mga password.
is this the bitwarden general assembly
You called?
you called?
Reporting from KeePassXC here.
Setting things up for seamless interoperability with mobile and PC might be a bit of a pain, but it's really a breeze after that.
+1 for Keepass. I use way too many random passphrases and special characters to keep track of all of them.
Also use Firefox Sync for my browsers.
As far as I am aware, for KeePassXC, the database file is handled locally and it's your responsibility where you'd store your password database file. This password database file is encrypted (when using a master password) and so personally, I'm comfortable putting a synchronized copy onto cloud storage (which also makes it easier syncing across the PC and my mobile devices).
I assume that this is true for KeePass as well, though I be wrong.
From the KeePassXC FAQ:
and from a different section of the same FAQ:
And from their user guide:
I also use a key file to make sure that I'm only accessing my password database on devices I own (to which I copy the key file manually).
Well, I suppose there's still some danger, in which case, I think a fully-local syncing solution (something mediated through Syncthing, I guess) can be set up. To be honest, I could have gone that route, but I didn't bother. I just felt safe enough to store my password database on the cloud, trusting that it's sufficiently secured via encryption (and that I have a secure enough master password).
Nakalog-out na rin Reddit ko hahaha. Fresh start for us here in lemmy(dot)world 🫶🏻
Me using old.reddit with RES' account switcher top of a password manager: … I think I'm good, but lemmy check anyways. 😅
Nag-log out yung Reddit dahil binura ko ang cookies, at hindi na ako nakapag-login ulit.
Nakaopen siya sa Brave browser, same as my lemmy's. Wala naman ako ginawa basta nalog out na lang. Pero napansin ko iba na itsura niya. Parang naupgrade yung itsura haha
May beerus sa PC mo. Haha
Mobile browser po gamit ko. Basta gumanda yung reddit ngayon sa mobile browser.
Sigh 😮💨 namamahalan na ako sa jolibee. Konti na lang yung mga pagkain na below P100 /w drinks.
Parang ang tagal na since I managed to spend less than ₱100 on a Jolibee meal. But then again, I'm a "upsize fries and drinks, please" kind of person, lol!
Kung ₱100 lang ang budget ko at kailangan kong mabusog, pupunta na lang ako sa karinderya at mag-papapalunod na lang ako sa kanin at patis. 🥲
may ganyan pala community dito. sa redit ba meron din?
Anyone here plays guitar? When should you get maintenance on your guitar's frets? I noticed that some frets have dents, but I don't really notice much chance in sounds, just a slight buzz if I press the strings too hard.
Anong powdered milk brand nyo sa bahay?
Bear brand kasi samin pero gusto ko nang magpalit because fucknestle. Di ko na gusto yung Alaska, parang iba na yung lasa. Yung Birch Tree naman matabang, mas malapit sa skimmed milk yung lasa.
Gusto kong magchamporado bukas.
used to have Anchor at home and for me it's the right blend of powdered milk
Sige nga. Try ko to. Thanks!
I was going to say Anchor, pero baka nakuha na rin sila ng Nestle.
Still owned by Fonterra.
Bear brand pag nandito yung pamangkin ko. Since pang-creamer ko lang yan sa kape, dun na ko sa mura hehe *Nagtry ako sa Birch tree then Alaska (kasi may free foodkeeper lol) tapos balik Birch tree ngayon. Pero parang mas masarap na yata yung Alaska.
Try mo rin yung Birch Tree na full cream.
Yung full cream yung natikman ko dati. Di ko bet. Pero matagal na yun, baka nagbago na sila ng formulation?
Nestogen, cuz Nestle fucks me since I was toddler.
My man just lowballed the shit out of that guy, lol.
That said, ang mahal pala ng architect even for what appears to be a low-tier firm. I could only imagine how much the Nazareno Guerrero's and the Peña's ask for.
My Jerboa client auto updated to the latest version 😢
Same :((
Posting this from Lemming App instead.
Edit: Now using Liftoff. Not bad.
Lumipat naman ako sa Thunder, alpha version pa lang pero mas ok kesa jerboa
hmm, mukang mas ayos ang LiftOff, dito muna tayo
I'm using Connect right now and I guess it's fine
I think so. Yung source code nasa Github page nila iirc.
turn off na yung auto update sa playstore
Ano problema sa update?
nabuhay si Gadon
Bobo.
Yung saktong umaambon sa labas
Bu... but ROTC helps eliminate mental disorders... right? Manila Bay's dolomite didn't help me, though.
The next logical thing to try then is ROTC on Manila Bay's Dolomite Beach!
Our bullets should be made from dolomite.
aw fuck i clicked a reddit link, c'mon use teddit
Nandidiri ako tuwing makakita o makarinig ng Pinoy content sa ibang phone o TV. Ang sakit sa tenga.
In fairness to Pinoy content, it's not just because it's Pinoy that irritates me, it's the sound effects they use on top of the irritating humor that they inevitably use.
Di ko rin alam kung bakit naiirita ako tho. Maybe it's some kind of a Pavlovian thing where I've associated those sound effects with irritating content, or it is the sound effects pushing what might otherwise be tolerable content past the line and into irritating territory.
Whenever I heard them, I felt like I'm developing myself with misophonia, and this is me tuning up white noise for meditation or whenever I'm bored.
Di lang ito limited sa YT o socmed shorts/content, pati na rin sa local TV, especially GMA.
Yeah, and due to how prevalent (or my perception of it being prevalent) it is in stuff aimed towards Filipinos, I have this feeling that my own sensibilities are just not in tune with the rest of the country's.
This is soo me. Most of the time, I read articles from AP News (or global news), or whatever marereceive ko sa email (from Inquirer o sa Viber notifications), and watch film/pop culture analysis videos from overseas. Recently I accidentally sent an email to my ex-friend. She replied "English yarn!!" I asked, "anong yarn?" Damn.... and I'm 25.
Hahahaha! Ouch!
But yeah, it really depends on the (online or IRL) company we keep eh.
I think I'm not as bad when it comes to colloquial Filipino and its slang terms, but had I not been with people in touch with those things, I might as well be a foreigner with Filipino blood, who lived all my life in here the Philippines.
I'd never listened to local radio since I subscribed to Spotify a decade ago, until I landed on Apple Music with their free radios (mostly mainstream and featured artists lang naman). Haha
I used to listen to a lot of AM radio in my childhood (lalo na kung "brownout", lol!), but recently, I'm the same as well. However, in times of disaster (typhoons, earthquakes, or man-made emergencies), I sometimes find myself looking for news coverage through my cellphone's radio app.
Call me old-fashioned or whatever, but iba pa rin kasi ang feeling nung makakarinig ka ng breaking news reports sa radyo eh.
Other than that, my local radio listening has gone down to almost nil in the past handful of years.
EDIT: Typos and such.
When my favorite FM radio station (Pure FM, from the province. Literally pure pop songs and sometimes classic pop every 9PM) shut down, dun na ako gradually nawalan ng interes sa radyo.
Ahhh, yeah. Ang saklap nga pag ganyan. And I'm still grieving the loss of NU 108 (not even a rockhead, lol! I just like their programming).
I don't usually listen to FM radio nowadays, except if I want that "office music" feel at home, in which case I'll go to 96.3 (DWRK Easy Rock, Metro Manila).
"Joke, joke, joke!" imminent laugh tracks and whistle sounds
I'm with you on that one. Worthy of special mention is that baby laughter noise that a lot of Pinoy Youtubers use. Nagpipintig tenga ko pag naririnig ko siya.
Oo nga ano.... I've been thinking this is mostly just a socmed thing, but it's already spread onto local TV (I've heard the baby laugh sound effect on Showtime as well).
the sound effects are the worst tbh
Even Indian comedy videos on YT are also doing those sound effects. Very cringey.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the additional perspective. It's too easy for me to think of it as a "cringe Pinoy thing" since that's what I'm exposed to.
Konti lang pinoy content na kaya ko matiis, and mostly because they speak English - mga house tours, si Slater, Jessica Lee, Caco of AutoDeal.
Si Oliver Austria lang ata okay na mostly Filipino gamit, but I stopped years ago kasi nagiging cringey na yung self-aware tito jokes.
sa mga gumagamit ng RSS feeder app, pwede pa-share ng URL nyo? kakatamad hanapin LOL mga news sites prefer ko
Ang hirap ng walang day job, no? Pisteng yawa.
Dude, I have no problems financially. I already got paid big from my occasional work that'll last me for months (Yes, may budget plan), plus may passive income rin ako sa province (agri-business). It's just sometimes, nabobored ako, pagkatapos ng chores ko, writing drafts, reading, and everything.
Nagsisisi ba ako naging Filipino ako? Sort of. Not because of work situation, but all the bullshitteries that majority influenced since 2016.
I'm Filipino by the accident of birth, so it's a bit illogical for me to say "nagsisisi ako na Filipino ako." Regretting is something that is only valid if you had a choice in the matter.
Now, if I ever wished to be of a different nationality, I'd be lying if I say no. I can go on about my reasoning, but I won't bother you with that.
All i need is 1m php per week, a medical doctor wife, and the downfall of reddit to be truly happy. Nuff said.
Maiba lang tayo ng usapan.
Who do you think will win Marbula One? Tablado na ang top three, meanwhile Team Momo still has a slim chance of winning with only one Grand Prix to go
